If you are a collector of vintage amiga software you should take a good look at this. It is a complete version of City Desk 2.0 for the Amiga from Microsearch . Microsearchlists this for City Desk in the history section of their web page:In 1983, MicroSearch launched as a full-service software dealer, one of
the largest in the Greater Houston Area.
Shortly thereafter, MicroSearch focused in on the expansive Amiga
line and quickly became the largest Amiga dealer in the Southeast
Region.
Among the early accomplishments, MicroSearch developed and released
the first desktop publishing program in the world, \'City Desk\',Clearly this program is a piece of Amiga history. The stamped serial number in the manual suggests that this is the 603rd copy produced. I purchased this program new many years ago
with the intent to use it to produce a newsletter. That never happened and the diskettes were probably only ever loaded one time to install the program. Unfortunately, I no longer have
a working Amiga so I cannot test the diskettes. I believe however that the real value here is as a collectible item. Please note that there are some blemishes on the box (particularly by
the edge). Included are 4 diskettes. There are 3 program diskettes and and an art companion diskette. Full documentation is included as well as some promotional flyers for other
Amiga products from the time that were included in the package. As you can see this is about as complete as it gets.Thanks for looking
